Chapter Forty-Six: A Grand Wedding
On February 10, Konoha 48, the entire Konoha Village revealed a festive atmosphere from the inside out.
At the home of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku had just finished breakfast, and seeing that his wife, who was pregnant again, was busy, he got up to help.
"Where's Itachi, you've gone out to train in the morning?"
Mai Trin was washing the dishes and replied with a smile:
"He had a rare night's sleep today."
"Oh? It's so rare, I'll wake him up in a moment. β
"You're a man...... The child usually trains very hard, and it seems that he came back late last night. β
At this moment, there was a voice in the stairwell, and Itachi, who was less than five years old, stood in the kitchen doorway, looking at his parents.
"Father, Mother......"
Mai Trin exclaimed, grabbed her husband's arm, and pointed to her child.
Fugaku looked in the direction of his wife's finger:
Itachi changed from his usual calm and precocious appearance, and stood in place in some panic, his red eyes each inlaid with a magatama......
At the same time, at Uchiha Shisui's home, Shisui was lying on the bed in the room, and three crows stood beside him, pecking at the grain in his hands.
Zhishui lightly touched his face that was beaten like a pig's head, and sighed:
"Really, why are you chasing me and beating me alone......"
A crow on his bed seemed to be full, shook the feathers on his body, flew out of the open window of the room, and gradually rose in height, and the early morning scenery of Konoha Village was unobstructed in the eyes of the crow:
Maitkai trotted his father's wheelchair all the way to the training ground to start his morning workout.
Dai sat in a wheelchair and watched his son, who was throwing his fist at the stake, shouting and cheering.
Nara Shikahisa was kicked out of the house by his wife Yoshino, who had just become pregnant, and walked down the road with an invitation card in his hand and a depressed face.
He was confronted at the door of the Yamanaka flower shop and met Akido Dingza, who was still chewing on something.
The two laughed as they pointed to the invitations in each other's hands, and then walked into the flower shop.
The crow lowered its height and glided over the roof of the building facing the street in Konoha Village.
In the Hakaze Mansion, Mizuto, who had already changed into a black kimono for the wedding, and his "father" Jiraiya today sat at the table, and a light blue ball in Mizumon's hand was spinning.
As a teacher, Jiraiya looked at it seriously, imitating with a ball of chakra in his hand.
When the crow landed again, it arrived at the mansion of the Thousand Hands family, which was already slightly dilapidated.
Sarutobi Lake is busy for today's bride and bride's relatives.
Rin was wearing a light-colored kimono with a shuriken printed on it, and her face was already painted with light makeup, and she was really busy inside and out according to the instructions of Lord Biwako.
Tsunade Hime, who finally changed out of the clothes with the word "gamble" printed on her back, was now in a state of hangover, and with the help of Rin, she put on a pale yellow kimono and was holding her cheeks and being scolded by Lord Biwako.
Today's protagonist, Uzumaki Kushina, sits in front of the vanity mirror with a serious face, with the white kimono worn during the ceremony beside her.
At this time, she was shaking her hands to put on her own makeup, but this kind of operation was undoubtedly too difficult for her, who had always been plain-faced......
An inattentive hand slipped, and the eyebrows that should have been slender became tense......
Tsunade, who was drinking sobering tea, squirted water onto the table, and there were angry shouts and bursts of cheerful laughter from the room.
The crow took off again, and when it passed by the shopping street, Ichiraku Ramen seemed to remember something and hovered and landed inside the store.
The noodle restaurant, which usually has a booming business, is now hanging a sign that reads "Take a day off", and a little girl a few years old is watching the shop.
When she saw the crow that had landed in front of her, she happily took out a small dish of water and handed it over.
"Dark sauce is earlier than usual today!"
"Calamus, I'm back."
"Dad, have you got a new spoon back?"
Hand hit depressedly touched his head:
"Oh, that guy seems to be sick today, and his shop isn't open.
I wanted to take advantage of today's break to change a batch of wooden spoons, which is really ......"
Several teenagers and girls passed by the door of Ichiraku Ramen, and the dark-skinned ape Fei Asma greeted her hand loudly:
"Uncle Hand, you are resting today, are you going to attend Lord Watergate's wedding later?"
He nodded at him with a smile.
Sunset Red on the side helplessly grabbed the red beans who wanted to take the opportunity to slip away to buy meatballs......
"Girls will gain weight after eating too many sweets!"
"I don't believe it! Let go of me, I might die without meatballs! β
Asma and Red finally compromise and follow Azuki Bean to buy meatballs.
The three of them were eating while walking, and suddenly the red bean stopped stuffing the balls into his mouth.
A wary look appeared in her brown eyes, and she looked around......
"What's wrong, Red Bean?"
"Something just passed around here......"
As she spoke, the girl ran quickly in one direction.
But when Asma and Red finally catch up with her, Red Bean stops under a big tree next to the street, frowning and thinking.
"I mean, you must be wrong......"
"Yes, Red Bean, let's go to the ceremony site to help, it's not too early."
Hongdou was unwilling to be pulled away by Hong, and a white figure grew out of the big tree, looking at the girl in the distance with a frightened face.
The trio arrived at the wedding celebration and found Kakashi staring at them with dead fish eyes......
"You guys, are you really here to help?!"
Azuki completely ignored the anger and disgust in the other party's tone, and jumped in front of Kakashi:
"Yo! Kakashi, who hasn't changed his outfit for 10,000 years, looks even more handsome in this new outfit!
I said, why do you wear a mask on your teacher's wedding day? β
As he spoke, he was about to tear off Kakashi's mask, but he flashed it alertly.
Genma and Ebisu came to the door with the wedding sign, and saw Azuki and Red praising Kakashi appreciatively......
Then, together with Asma, the two formed a low-value alliance and stared at Kakashi viciously.
"You guys, now that you're here, hurry up and come in to help!"
Although Shizune is only a few years older than several teenagers and girls, her life as a father and mother in the past few years has made her mature rapidly, and she has established her prestige among the people within ten days of returning to the village.
Two hours later, everyone finally decorated the wedding scene under the command of the silent eldest sister.
By this time, the guests had arrived in a scattered manner.
Matt Dai and his son still arrived in the green tights with spicy eyes and a strange painting style.
The heads of the three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly arrived with three bouquets of flowers, and the hostesses of the Nara family and the Autumn Road family felt very embarrassed......
The head of the Inuzuka family and the oil girl family arrived, and Kuromaru carried the young Inuzuka flower on his back, and stayed away from the oil girl Shiwei with a disgusted expression.
Many ninjas who had been blessed by the Feng Shui Gate on the battlefield spontaneously came, and after giving them gifts, they were told that they could not leave until they had finished the meal.
The head of the Hyuga family has recently contracted an illness, and his two sons, Hizoku and Hiza, have arrived on behalf of the family.
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Uchiha Fugaku and his wife Mikoto came to the venue, and Mikoto held her eldest son Itachi in her hands.
In the end, the three generations of the couple and the elders except Shimura Danzou also came to the ceremony.
Asma, a rebellious teenager, sat at the registration desk and looked at his father defiantly:
"As a third-generation lord, isn't your gift money too small!
Lord Fuyue is with 9,000 taels. β
Ape Fei Ri endured the idea of slapping his second son to death, and silently took out his wallet from his arms......
Sarutobi Biwako looked at the girl who registered the gift money with his youngest son with a suspicious look of satisfaction, and the girl's cheeks were hot.
Bo Feng Shui Gate stood in the lobby, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the growing number of guests......
Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he kept wiping them with his handkerchief.
Jiraiya on the side was wearing a black suit, looking at his disciple with his arms folded and satisfied.
"Suddenly, this little ghost who studied with him like a fart back then is already married......"
The prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal seemed to still be echoing in his ears:
"Your disciples will bring change to the ninja world, and this change will bring peace or destruction to the world, it will be up to you to choose ......"
"Is it Watergate or Nagato?
By the way, those three little guys, are you okay now? β
The sound of the door opening behind him interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts, and he turned his head to look:
Kushina, a violent woman who used to be arrogant, now combed her hair to resemble Mito-sama's back then, and wore a pure white kimono, standing quietly in place.
She had an even layer of foundation on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and she looked at Watergate gently......
Behind Kushina, Rin smiled and put her hands behind her back.
And also...... Tsunade on the side, she changed the appearance of a violent female gambler in the past, wearing a bright yellow kimono, light yellow hair spread behind her head, light makeup painted on her face, and a smile on the corner of her mouth:
"You two bastards! Still giggling at what? It's time for the ceremony! β
A roar brought Mizuto and Jiraiya back to their senses, and Mizuto excitedly stepped forward and held Kushina's hand, but was stopped by Tsunade.
"Boy, you have to treat Jiu Sinai well in the future, you know?!"
Tsunade looked at Mizuto and smiled, then pointed to Jiraiya:
"And if you dare to learn from your master's stinky faults...... Hehe! β
Kushina took the first step to take Mizumon's hand and smiled at Tsunade:
"He doesn't dare, you can rest assured."
Not at all wanting to discuss these topics at such a sweet moment, Watergate looked at his bride with a smile:
"Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting!"
With that, he took Jiu Sinai's hand, and the two walked towards the door step by step.
Jiraiya is still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the crowd outside the door erupts into cheers as the protagonist appears.
Tsunade walked over to him and watched it all in the same silence, the smile on his lips fading away.
More than ten years ago, there was a man who also promised himself all this......
"Tsunade, when this war is over, you'll marry me, okay?"
But he didn't wait for this promise to come true......
Jiraiya's hand gently patted her shoulder, and she looked up, but the face that had always been indecent was very sincere at the moment.
"If you're sad, I can lend you my shoulder for a while."
Tsunade gently avoided Jiraiya's hand, turned around and walked towards the door.
ββ¦β¦ Idiot! I just want to drink! β
Jiraiya looked at his hand in disappointment, sighed, and then showed a free and easy smile on his face.
"Another failure, really."
The newlyweds received the blessings of all the guests, including the three generations, and Jiraiya, who played the father of the groom, was knocked to the ground with a punch after giving his own stumbling speech......
The chefs sent by the Akido clan had already prepared the rich food, and the mead brought by Tsunade Hime was mixed into several large barrels of sweet sake.
The afternoon-long dinner party began, and it was not until the three generations of adults and Elder Mito Menyan began to drink together, that the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while......
Countless people got drunk and were carried away by the young shinobi who acted as waiters.
When the sun finally sets on the horizon, the ceremony is already a mess.
As the groom, the water gate has been flooded unconscious, and he was carried home first.
At this time, as a bride, Kushina was no longer the shy appearance she had at the beginning of the ceremony.
In a no-man's corner, she stepped on a chair and looked viciously at Rin and Kakashi in front of her.
"Didn't that bastard Obito say he was going to participate?!
What about people? What about gifts?! β
Kakashi waved his hand and stepped back, glancing at Rin with his right eye.
Lin was also embarrassed:
"That guy clearly said he was going to surprise you and Mr. Watergate!"
At this time, on the top of the head of the first generation of the Hokage Cliff, Obito, who was wearing a blue robe and a white three-hooked jade mask, was holding a small altar.
He quietly looked down at the entire Konoha Village, and then threw the ashes out of the jar.
"You're home, Madara."
Behind him, more than a dozen white jue emerged from the soil.
"Obito-sama, we have taken out all the buried detonation charms in Konoha Village."
Obito reached out and took the thick wad of detonation charms, looking up at the rising moon.
"Congratulations on getting married, Mr. Watergate, Sister Jiu Sinai."
As he spoke, he threw the detonator into the air, and then sealed:
"Fire escape. Dancing in the wind. β
Kamui warped the space, causing a swirling storm and detonating charms ignited by the flames fluttered into the air.
Obito looked at all this with satisfaction, and said softly:
βshow me zhe flowerβ
At the wedding scene, Jiu Sinai was still losing her temper, and at this time, there was a roar in the distance.
The crowd raised their heads, and flames danced in the sky, and then a magnificent pattern was drawn:
On a sea of flowers, seven roses are blooming......
